Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) could target a massive $333,000 by May 2022 if the U.S. Federal Reserve provides a “perfect storm” of low rates, a new prediction argues.<\/p>\n Updating an uncannily accurate price forecast on Dec. 27, filbfilb, co-founder of trading platform Decentrader, drew dizzying conclusions about BTC price action next year.<\/p>\n After acting almost to the letter throughout 2021, BTC\/USD stands to make huge gains in the coming six months if conditions remain the same.<\/p>\n The Fed is poised to make two interest rate hikes next year, and these are likely priced in, pundits say \u2014 but a surprise change of tact could have far-reaching consequences.<\/p>\n For Filbfilb, analyzing Fibonacci sequences alongside historical price action in previous halving cycles, Bitcoin could surge past $300,000 as a result of Fed officials toning down rate hikes.<\/p>\n “To get there parabolically, we would probably need a perfect storm of the Fed being unable to raise rates (which are probably priced in) and heightened inflation, leading to a flight to safety in BTC,” he told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n An accompanying chart, posted on Twitter in December 2018 as BTC\/USD bottomed out at $3,100, shows just how predictably the price action has run since.<\/p>\n “Price is exactly where predicted,” Filbfilb told<\/a> Twitter followers. <\/p>\n “You don’t have enough crypto for what will happen in 2022.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As astounding as it may sound, such a scenario is \u2014 at least technically \u2014 not as far-fetched as it seems.<\/p>\n Signs are already pervading the market, as more and more indicators line up to demand a breakout to the upside. Even low-timeframe data is encouraging \u2014 Dec. 27, for instance, saw BTC\/USD close a four-hour candle above the significant 200-day moving average (MA) for the first time in six weeks.<\/p>\n The last time that an uptrend achieved the same feet was in late September, at the start of a run-up which produced the current $69,000 all-time highs.<\/p>\n BTC 4hr:<\/p>\n Candle closes in about an hour.<\/p>\n It could be the first close above the 200ma in 6 weeks.<\/p>\n Price action prior to the last cross looked similar.<\/p>\n This time? pic.twitter.com\/sMkFMEB9Ky<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nunya Bizniz (@Pladizow) December 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n On the topic of macro movements, the future looks bright for stocks as well amid a cooling U.S. dollar, commentators argue \u2014 even if rates do increase as expected.<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0Countdown to the yearly close: 5 things to watch in Bitcoin this week<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n George Gammon, author of investing newsletter Rebel Capitalist Pro, was upbeat as the last week of 2021 began.<\/p>\n “I think you may see Stock Market go way up in next couple months as “end of pandemic” narrative continues,” he forecast<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This gives Fed cover to raise rates after QE zero. After market digests & realizes economy has been decimated, then sees impact of higher rates, downside could be big.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The impact on Bitcoin in such a scenario would thus depend on its correlation with stocks, and whether it could rebound from a sudden downturn like the one Gammon suggests in a manner similar to March 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n Regardless, popular opinion remains convinced that the peak is not yet in<\/a> for Bitcoin after the about-turn in early December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAnalyst: “You don’t have enough crypto” for 2022 bull run<\/h2>\n
